There's currently plenty of money for medicare. There may be issues in the future, but there is a simply solution for that: increase medicare revenue and/or change the payout structure.

Furthermore, nursing home fees typically paid for by Medicaid for those who qualify. That's the same Medicaid that right wing nuts all across this country are trying to avoid expanding and cut at every opportunity. Medicaid's enemies are easy to identify: they typically have an (R) next to their names.

Finally, the idea that prison is some kind of luxury resort is just stupid. Prison sucks. Its designed to suck. The only people who benefit from it are the private contractors who rely on that sweet sweet corrections money to make their living. If you're really worried about saving money for medicare and medicaid you should work against the prison industrial complex which is sucking the government dry.

I thought all these Tea Partiers were wholly & totally against any dreaded & horrid "socialization," so why are they upset because putatively there's not enough socialized money to pay for a Tea Party person to be in a nursing home?

Contradiction, much?

Tea Partiers scream about Socialism & Communism & decry that Obama is the new HitlerStalinMarx, but then they whiiiine that there's not enough money for them to get into a Nursing home on the govt tittie.

What it boils down to, though, is that the Tea Partiers are just *fine* for socializing stuff for THEM. They just don't want "others" to get the same stuff as they do.
